Can someone give me a realistic reason, or number of reasons, why some of you think the Saints will win this game? Did you just see the 49ers offense, with a back-up quarterback, torch the Bears defense? Is it just the homer coming out in some? What's up with all the newly found optimism? Prediction: 49ers 37 Saints 20.

We are die hard saints fans We have Drew Brees Our running game is on fire Our offense is a record shattering, unstoppable, bewildering force that cannot be reckoned with You are on a Saints Board. It is in the Dome We are on a hot streak We are all Saints fans Our defense has stepped up big lately Our defense has gotten stellar in redzone play You are on a Saints board The Saints offense > The Bears offense

Yes, and some are homers.

quote:We have Drew Brees

Yes, and he's an NFL great.

quote:Our running game is on fire

You're going up against one of the best rush defenses in the NFL.

quote:Our offense is a record shattering, unstoppable, bewildering force that cannot be reckoned with

Alas, remember the homer thing I was talking about?

I did laugh though, I'm sure that was your intention.

quote:You are on a Saints Board

I'm fully aware.

For the majority of the year, there have been very realistic predictions. Now is not that time.

quote:It is in the Dome

OK.

quote:We are on a hot streak

Meh, can't disagree there. So are the 49ers.

quote:Our defense has stepped up big lately

OK, that made me laugh. There was nowhere to go but up...a little bit.

quote:The Saints offense > The Bears offense

The Saints defense is also much, much, much, much worse than the Bears defense.

quote:Did i mention you are on a board for Saints fans?

Yes.

Please give me a moment to find a frick...

Like I said, for the most part, you guys have had solid predictions. I've read this thread for almost every week. However, this is just over the top. The 49ers will be brining you down to Earth after this weekend. Their offense is good, your defense is bad. Your offense is good, their defense is great. I just don't see the Saints winning.

BTW, please kick Atlanta and Dallas' asses in a couple weeks. Good luck in those games. I hope Matty MVP throws another 5 interceptions. Put him back in his place.

And FWIW, so you know I'm being realistic (and not flaming), I think the Saints finish the season 4-2 and end up 9-7.

I honestly think we have a good chance of beating them. Yes, their team is good, yes they were great last night.

Let's look at their games before this:

They got their arse beat by NY 26-3, straight up fricking raped. The beat Seattle 13-6, at home. They looked OK. Have a good win over Arizona 24-3, but they are showing they are not a good team and their start was a fluke Play the Rams, who are a middle of the pack team at best, at home, and it ended in a tie 24-24 Played a tremendous game against a Bears team without Cutler, and won 32-7. Although, with Cutler this game is a lot closer.

So tell me how they are so dominant that the Saints, who are playing desperation and inspired football, cannot beat them?

You are forgetting this is the NFL, no games are gimmes, especially in the Superdome.

Since Denver ripped that defense apart, you've played terrible Philly and Oakland teams. Is that the good defensive play you're talking about? Atlanta still score 27 points and had 450 yards. Oakland even went over 400 yards. Philly had 450 yards with their terrible offense.

Granted, that is improvement, but nothing like you're making it out to be.

quote:you think their offense is on the same level as our offense? You honestly dont think we have a great offense? seriously?

How can the Saints offense be great when they're ranked 26th in rushing offense? Of course they have a great passing attack. That still doesn't translate to a great offense.

Look at it this way, the Saints and 49ers are complete opposites on offense.

The Saints have some leadership back, Spags defense is playing better, you're at home, have revenge on your mind, and playoffs on the line. I like our HOF QB to lead this team and help us rise up for this one. Plus, there are numbers of let down games in the nfl; time for the Niners to let down from that bears demolition.

Laugh it up Shaq. I have been hard on that gump since we gave up a 1st rounder at the time and had obvious needs on defense. But, if the past few weeks are any indication; Ingram is hitting his stride and will play a huge role in spinning clock late in games from here out.
